Next step would be to try try a full uninstall/reinstall then.

Tried that a few times already had all sorts of error messages about logos when I first started the game. Have uninstalled and reinstalled about five times to try and fix both issues.

Have never had these issues when I didn't buy the game off of Steam.

Well something's not right for sure, but it's really hard to say what it might be.

Have you restarted your computer after any of the uninstalls? That might be worth doing as it can help reset things a little.

One other thing to try might be to run both Steam and and OOTP in admin mode, in case there are some permission issues going on with the folder the game is installed in.

So right click on the Steam launcher and go to properties > compatibility > run this program as an administrator. Do the same for OOTP. Then do the verify files thing again.

If that doesn't work, probably the easiest and quickest solution would be if you email me a copy of your Steam receipt (even just a screenshot) and I'll get you a code for the standalone, and you can use that and see if anything changes.

yay steam!

i'd love to blame them, and truly hope it is so...

odd things happen with pc's though.. i had a 3d video card that would handle the most advanced 3d games, but when you playted a 2d movie or tv show on the pc, it would choke and initialize a vpu recovery, lol... every 2-3-5-10mins or so... very very often that you couldnt' watch it... can't be easy onthe gpu, either. probably why it died after ~5 years. nevr had that happen

so as not to be depressing, youshould know there was a workaround for that particular card. i had to tweak the 'stepping' of the gpu and essentially remove "state0", the idle state. later i found i could just bump it slightly and it would be good to go.

i replaced that card with the same exact GPU but from different manufacture -> absolutely no problems running anything... same drivers, different firmware, i guess?

be very careful when choosing amd/nvidia cards... if one is $10-$30 dollars less but hte same exact model, there is a very very good reson to shell out that extra 10-30, i promise. avoid the low-cost manufacturers like the plague!

One other thing to try.

Start the game and go to Settings->Troubleshooting > Force game data re-installation

Thanks for the tips guys. Will try them all tomorrow. Working night shift tonight.

Combination of uninstall then reinstall followed by a restart, then a verify of the files and the forced reinstall of the game data files plus running the game as an admin seems to have done the trick. Thanks for all your help Lukas. It is brilliant support like that makes OOTP stand out among games developers :-)

Awesome, that's great to hear. Really glad you got this sorted out. Thanks for the kind words as well.

Enjoy the game!
